3D Printed D&RGW Style Switch Stand

When building my own turnouts, I was not surprised to see how expensive off the shelf turnout parts can be. So I decided to design my own D&RGW style switch machines to compliment my backyard railroad. These switch machines were designed based off the D&RGW Low Star switch stand, while also being optimized for 3D printing. 

 

This switch machine was designed to be easily taken apart to replace parts as they wear. all parts attached to the actuator shaft utilize a shaft collar for easy replacement and alignment. While 3D printed parts wont last forever, the cost of printing one of these is a fraction of buying one off the shelf and they definelty look the part.

 

Printing these from ASA or painting your stand if its printed from PETG will guarantee they last longer. Material degradation due to UV exposure will be what kills these switch stands. You are able to choose from a single sided target, or a double sided target. (Note the "KPR" logo on the switch stands in the photos are for my own railroad. The files you receive will have a blank base with no text on them)
